Year 8 Day

Neil Haywood —

In a new initiative, we recently hosted 180 Year 8 students from five of our in-zone contributing schools, as a way of giving them a taste of what it is like to be at High School. 

The day was spent with our teaching staff and some of our own students engaged in a variety of activities which covered a number of curriculum areas. 

It also provided us with the opportunity to meet with Year 8 teachers and discuss how we could help each other in making the transition process for our students as smooth as possible. 

The feedback on the day from both students and staff has been extremely positive and it is our aim to make this an annual event.
